An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (93% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.17 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Moore.

Judged on this season alone, Moore graded 26 — a solid campaign that ranks top 37% of the 87 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 6 clean sheets and 3.165 defensive actions per 90.

  • Availability. On the pitch for 93% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook
